Scotland pair George Horne and Matt Fagerson return from injury on Friday evening as Glasgow Warriors host Cardiff in their final home match of the URC regular season.
Both players have been missing since April, through an ankle injury for Horne and hamstring issue for Fagerson.
Zander Fagerson completes the front-row trio with Jamie Bhatti and Johnny Matthews, while Ally Miller makes his first start in the second-row.
Matt Fagerson and Rory Darge line up on the flanks, with Dan Lancaster returning to the line-up at number 10. Horne starts at scrum-half in a Warriors side showing nine changes.
Glasgow currently trail leaders Stormers by a single point and will be aiming for a five-point haul to put pressure on the South Africans, who are away to Ulster on Friday.
"Everyone is looking forward to being back at our home tomorrow night," said head coach Franco Smith.
"Cardiff remain firmly in the play-off hunt with a squad fully committed to their goal, and they will come here ready to compete for everything.
"Our focus this week has been on ourselves. We know how much the supporters are a part of our journey, especially this season – we want to give them a performance to be proud of in our last home game of the regular season."
Glasgow Warriors: McKay, Steyn (capt), McDowall, Tuipulotu, Rowe, Lancaster, Horne; Bhatti, Matthews, Z Fagerson, Miller, Samuel, M Fagerson, Darge, Dempsey.
Replacements: Hiddleston, Schickerling, Talakai, Oguntibeju, Duncan, Vailanu, Afshar, Smith.
